Well I decided to spend my last morning of vacation fishing the Indian River. I had a number of hits from Rainbows but was only able to pull in the two pictured below. I caught one on a stimulator and the other on a beadhead nymph. They were nice little fish and fought hard. I would like to spend more time on this river because I know there are some larger fish and some brookies here.

I am here in the Central Adirondacks, Indian Lake, for the 4th of July vacation. I decided to fish the Indian River today. The NYS DEC stocks this river so it is full of 12″ rainbows. Just below the Lake Abanakee Dam there are quite a few of these well educated rainbows. I was able to get quite a few hits but could not keep these fish on my line. I watched a number of them take my fly or emerger and spit them out before I could set the hook. It was very frustrating but I was able to pull in a beautiful 14″ Rainbow.
Tomorrow my father-in-law and I go up to Wilmington, NY to fish with one of my favorite guides, Rich Garfield. The weather had been very dry, cool, and plenty of wind. It will be interesting to see where Rich takes us.
